How do I start to choose my kitchen storage?
Think about how you use your kitchen: having a good idea of what you need to put away will help you decide on kitchen storage that really works for you. What do you need to store and where? Do you have lots of cooking equipment, appliances or crockery? What needs to go near your cooker and your sink? Once you’ve got it worked out, you can start planning your storage.
What to choose: drawers or doors?
The choice of drawers or doors – cabinets with shelves – depends on what you want to store. Drawers are essential for cutlery and you can also use deep drawers for food storage, while crockery is more suited to cabinets. Whatever combination you choose, we’ve got organisers to help keep everything tidy and make sure you can always find what you’re looking for.

I don’t want to clutter up my cupboards and drawers: what are the storage alternatives?
Jars for rice, pasta, tea and coffee give you more space in cupboards by cutting down on cardboard boxes, and they’re great for drawer storage.
Jars can also look good on your worktop. Transparent or partly transparent jars with lids are a good buy – they keep food fresh, and you can easily find what you’re looking for.
How should I fit out my cupboards for maximum storage
Fed up with an avalanche of boxes and tins falling out every time you open a cupboard? Kitchen cupboards and drawers shouldn’t just look good on the outside: they need to be functional on the inside too – and that means choosing great internal storage solutions that really maximise the space.
To give yourself extra space in your cupboards, try our ingenious RATIONELL shelf inserts
Make the most of your space with our pot lid organiser.
Put your corner cabinets to work with the RATONELL corner base cabinet pull-out fitting or the RATIONELL wall corner cabinet carousel.
I seem to have loads of cleaning products and cleaning equipment. What should I do with them?
Again, RATIONELL has the answer with easy access slide out baskets that fit into a tall cabinet.
Boxes can be good for storing cleaning products too. Take a look at our transparent RATIONELL VARIERA box.
What cutlery storage alternatives are there?
For a versatile cutlery tray you can carry to the table, try the Förhöja. If you want to save space in your drawers, try a cutlery stand that can be fixed to the wall, so you save space on the worktop too. See our GRUNDTAL cutlery stand.
What storage essentials can I hang on my wall?
Many of our storage essentials can go on your wall or on the inside of your cupboards to give you even more space. Sorting out your spices is a must to make cooking easy. Take a look at the RATIONELL VARIERA spice rack. And if you really want to avoid cluttering up your worktops, we’ve even got an iron holder you can put on the wall.
